🥘 Ingredients

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Bittersweet chocolate: I like to use Baker's Bittersweet chocolate. Dark chocolate is also a good choice and candy melts work well also.

Granulated sugar

Unsalted butter

Vanilla extract

Large eggs

All purpose flour

Baking powder

Baking soda

Salt

Cooking spray: I recommend using a regular cooking spray without flour.

Dark corn syrup: this helps bring the brownie pops together, I prefer to use Karo brand.

Chopped walnuts: I prefer to buy pre chopped walnuts to prevent any over chopping.

Candy melts: these ghirardelli melting wafers are perfect for this recipe!

🔪 Instructions

For the brownies

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate on high for 30 seconds, stirring after 15 seconds, microwave chocolate chips in 15 second intervals until melted.
3. Add sugar, vanilla, egg, and egg white to the melted chocolate, mixing with an electric mixer, until well blended.
4. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to chocolate mixture, stirring until just blended.
5. Spoon brownie batter into 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
6. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely pan of brownies on wire rack. This will take about 2 - 3 hours to cool completely.

For the brownie pops

1. Place brownies in the bowl of a food processor. Process brownies into fine crumbs by using the pulse function.
2. Gradually corn syrup to the brownie crumbles and process until mixture just forms a ball.
3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of brownie mixture and roll into a round ball. Insert lollipop stick into center of each ball. Place brownie balls in freezer for at least 30 minutes.

To dip in chocolate:

1. Place candy coating in small microwavable bowl and microwave per package instructions.
2. Dip pops into melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate drip to fall off into the bowl. Dredge brownie pops in nuts and place on an aluminum foil or wax paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set.
